Four years ago this week, Season 28 of The Challenge kicked off with something so bad@$$, you couldn't think of anything else to begin a season that had the most controversial ending ever. But before what went down with Johnny Bananas that hot August night, the action down in Mexico began with something that marked the last mission for the first class of Road Rules and has also been featured at times on the show, including starting that first $1 million final on XXX: Dirty 30.
Ask anyone - Challenge or otherwise - what their most exciting thing they've ever done in their lives, and some of the responses might have "skydiving" as their answer. Other than for their entrance to the house the previous night, it was the one thing that gave everyone (except for a guy in tattoos) reason to confront their fears and yet have the time of their lives just flying with the birds and screaming at the top of their lings as they ascended down to the beach and meet TJ Lavin to begin Rivals III.
Along with that aforementioned The Challenge XXX, that same month of July 2017 saw the launch of something a bit different from people smashing into one another: Siesta Key, the college-aged version of Laguna Beach and The Hills. The reality soap has definitely glued fans of those two shows (created by Laguna's producers) and a new generation of viewers to the sultry and steamy drama of a young power clique who call this Florida paradise their home. And after it returned for Season 3 earlier this year, thanks to Tuesday's trailer drop it will return into our lives come June 16th.
The first half of it this winter & spring (something we got to do weekly episode recaps for the first time here) has already seen the showmance of main protagonist Juliette Porter and Bachelor alum Robby Hayes, along with most everything else with her and the rest of the crew. It's something that has kept everyone from Spencer Pratt to Robby's ex Scheana and Seth Rogan buzzing and not just because of that short-lived reality romance... the drama, the visuals and the soundtrack are what has gotten us to "Cut to the Feeling," the same way as it was for when LC & Kristin ruled the world.
And there will be plenty more on offer this summer, as Jules' ex Alex Kompo & girlfriend Alyssa deal with her pregnancy bombshell at the end of the midseason finale, plus he has to deal with possible infidelity including what happened in Nashville, and frenemy & co-worker Chloe. There's also Madisson's relationship with former producer Ish, a possible third shot at love for Garrett & Kelsey, Jules' new man Sam... and when we get to walk one of those lavish parties they love to throw there, we caution that you will not believe the outfit Jared will be wearing to that.

But let's not get more into more of #PhoneGate and stick with the positive vibes around here: if there's a favorite activity for the resident bad girl of Siesta Key, then Amanda definitely loves to go skydiving - and she's done that plenty of times even before the show aired. And below are some of her wildest adventures in the air as captured on her YouTube and Instagram, and as she captions in one of these posts, "You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things. 💙 #oneteam."
